With swimsuit season usually comes summer grilling. I am so down for that. To honor this new found heat we’ve been having in Southern Utah, I decided a grilled chicken recipe was in need. I have to say, this Grilled Lemon Chicken is one of our absolute favorites to grill. It is both refreshing and summer worthy. What’s more summer worthy than lemon? Nothing. 😉 haha.
